Giri Putri Cave - Review

Not far from the village of Karangsari, up a flight of stairs about 100 steps in total, is the deceptively narrow entrance of a cave. Make a small donation at the entrance and then climb through the small hole. Inside, you will find a huge limestone cave into which temples of both Buddhist and Hindu faiths have been carved. There are four major prayer areas, or shrines, and it's thought that the cave is large enough to hold about 5000 people. It does have all the usual features of a cave including stalagmites and stalactites, pools of water and bats. Be careful as you walk as it can get a bit slippery. After you have explored the cave, find the rear exit which open out on the other side of the hill. Follow the path from there back to the car park.

As this is a temple, you’ll have to wear a sarong and a sash before you visit. Remember to return them before you leave.
